Chapter 086 Let’s not go back, okay?
The clothing store's business is indeed picking up, with yesterday's single-day turnover reaching five thousand.
After hearing that someone was robbed at the train station yesterday, Bai Zhenzhu felt that it was not safe to keep her money at home.
She took the eight thousand yuan that Zhang Minmin had paid back and added it to the clothing store's sales in the past two days, totaling fifteen thousand yuan. She drove to the bank before it closed and deposited the money.
The person who handled the business this time was an older sister.
At present, there is still more than 95,000 yuan in her passbook.
When we returned to the clothing store, it was already dark.
Bai Chengxiang came over and called Bai Zhenzhu and others, as well as Bai Chenglei and Li Yuerong's families to go to his house for dinner.
Bai Chenglei and his friends still have customers eating, so they have to wait until around seven o'clock before the shop closes.
Liu Huiying was embarrassed to go and said that she and the children would just eat something casually. Bai Zhenzhu pulled her over and took all the children with her to go first.
The house that Bai Chengxiang rented was on the second floor, right next to Bai Chenglei and his family’s, very close.
The house layouts in Xingfu Community are exactly the same, all with two bedrooms and a living room.
It is estimated that this family has a large population, so they used a curtain to separate a room in the living room and put a single bed in it, which might be for the child to sleep in.
Bai Wenjie will be nine years old next year, and this little bed is just right for him.
When guests come to our house, they can sit on this small bed.
The house was filled with the aroma of bacon.
Li Xiufen and Xu Yin worked for two hours, stewing a pot of radish and cured pork leg and cooking sausages.
I cooked a pot of bamboo shoots and roast chicken with maocai base, and both dishes were stewing on the stove.
There were also cut bacon, garlic sprouts, tofu, etc. on the chopping board, waiting to be fried when Bai Chenglei and others came over.
The red oil pig ears have been mixed, and they are also filled with watercress and fried peanuts.
The braised chicken was also chopped up and a pot of crispy meat was fried.
Liu Huiying came in, put Jiajia down and went into the kitchen to help. Li Yueshu didn't have time to move.
Xu Yin couldn't help laughing:
"Huiying is too diligent."
He asked everyone to sit down and turned on the TV.
White Pearl was surprised:
"The landlord actually left the TV to you?"
Xu Yin smiled and said:
"The landlord and his family moved into a new house and bought a big color TV. They left this small black and white TV for us to watch."
I went and grabbed a plate of crispy meat for the children to eat; it was still hot.
Bai Zhenzhu put the oranges she brought in a small basket and placed it on the coffee table for everyone to peel and eat.
Xu Yin thought she had bought it specially and glared at her:
"You're still carrying things, are you looking for a fight?"
Bai Zhenzhu: "I didn't buy it specially. I was sending Jiajia to the hospital when I saw someone selling it on the roadside, so I weighed a few kilograms. Sister-in-law, try it. It tastes sweet and sour."
Xu Yin shook her head firmly:
"I don't eat sour food. I have a little cotton-padded jacket in my stomach."
Xu Yin is also interesting. Before Wenjie came, she missed him so much that she secretly cried at night.
After only half a day, she felt like her brain was about to explode.
After half a year of peace and quiet, the chaotic days finally returned.
But even though it hurts my head to yell at him, I still feel more at ease when my child is around.
At seven o'clock, Liu Huiying and Li Xiufen were cooking in the kitchen.
No one can get in because the kitchen is too small.
Bai Chengxiang also went to buy some wine, and when he came back he came back with Bai Chenglei, Li Yuerong and others.
There were quite a lot of people, so we sat at two tables.
The small living room was crowded.
Ordinary people just want to have enough food and clothing and have their families healthy and safe, that’s all they want.
Snow was falling outside the window again, but the Bai family was not worried because everyone, young and old, was around them.
Liu Huiying was also very emotional.
In the morning, she sat on the roadside holding her daughter, with a desolate future ahead.
Now, the mother and daughter can sit in a clean and tidy house and eat delicious meals.
Li Xiufen picked up a braised chicken leg for Jia Jia.
The little guy's mouth was full of oil.
After dinner, everyone helped clean up the kitchen before leaving.
Old Man Bai has been thinking about helping Bai Zhenzhu keep an eye on the shop tomorrow. He heard that there have been a lot of thieves at the train station recently and he is very anxious.
Bai Chenglei was worried about Bai Zhenzhu and the other two women taking the two children back to the restaurant, so he took a flashlight with him.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the low sheds and roofs were covered with a layer of white.
Just as the group reached the market entrance, a man suddenly ran over from the other end of the street.
He ran past Bai Zhenzhu and others like a gust of wind.
Bai Zhenzhu and Liu Huiying were so scared that they subconsciously hugged the child tightly.
There is another person chasing after me:
"Someone stole the money. Catch the thief!"
The manager in the market came out with a flashlight, took a look, and shouted to Bai Zhenzhu and the others:
"Go home quickly and don't hang around outside at night."
Bai Chenglei sent Bai Zhenzhu and the others back to the restaurant. Although he had no money on him, Bai Zhenzhu still asked him to hold a kitchen knife in his hand to give him courage.
Liu Huiying was terrified:
"No wonder those workers say that it's chaotic out there. It turns out to be true."
White Pearl locks the rolling door:
"It's the end of the year, and there are more petty thefts. If you encounter such a situation, don't be stingy with your money. Saving your life is the most important thing."
I heard that someone was reluctant to part with his money and fought with the criminals, and ended up being stabbed, losing both his money and his family.
Alas, it is not easy for poor people to earn some money, but what will happen to their families if they lose their lives?
The hot water was warming on the stove.
After Bai Zhenzhu and the others finished washing up, Liu Huiying took Jia Jia to take a shower in the shower room.
"Jia Jia, do you like Miss Bai's place?"
"Yes, I like Miss Bai." Jia Jia asked Liu Huiying anxiously, "Mom, do we really not have to go back to Daddy's place anymore?"
Liu Huiying wiped her daughter's hair with a dry towel:
"Do you want to go back?"
Jia Jia shook her head: "No, I'm afraid of Dad, and I don't like Grandpa and Grandma. They don't like me. Mom, let's not go back, okay?"
Liu Huiying hugged her daughter and assured her:
"Okay, we will never go back in this life, and we will forget all those people."
Jia Jia also hugged her mother tightly:
"good."
When I got up the next day, there was indeed a thick layer of snow outside.
When Mei Xiu Lian brought the dishes, she brought over a knife of fresh pork belly and half a pig's liver.
"Boss Bai, my family slaughtered a pig for the New Year yesterday. I'll give you this meat as a side dish."
He took another winter melon out of the basket:
"I'll give you this winter melon as well. It's old and delicious."
Bai Zhenzhu felt very embarrassed, but she had to accept it.
If she didn't accept it, the other party might think she didn't want her food anymore:
"Sister Mei, you are too polite."
Mei Xiu Lian's cheeks were red from the cold, and because she couldn't afford to buy cold cream, her face and hands were chapped.
The smile is particularly sincere:
"They are all our own stuff, so we don't have to spend any money. By the way, Mr. Bai, when will your restaurant close?"
Bai Zhenzhu: "I'm afraid it will be open until the end of the year. Does Mei have any plans?"
Mei Xiulian waved her hands happily:
"No, no, I'll deliver this dish to you whenever your restaurant opens."
"We, the vegetable vendors, only close our stalls on the afternoon of New Year's Eve and go home to celebrate the New Year. We will come back to set up our stalls on the third or fourth day of the New Year at the latest."
The restaurant will be open until the end of the year, so she can keep delivering goods. She is so happy.
With the cooling temperature and the end of the year, business at clothing stores has really picked up.
